Doesn’t seem to be much a leash with all these student-athletes moving from college\university to college\university through this portal business!

We were student athletes required to be amateur?

So, classmates of mine can revisit their colleges relive their 20s and get drunk a couple of times a year.

Not anymore, because the rules got changed. It used to be that to transfer to another school a player would lose a year of eligibility. So a coach could recruit you, then leave, and you were stuck, unless you wanted to not play for a year.

Student athletes were required to be amateur to maintain a lie. It was always a lie. And it’s decades past when that lie should have died.
